date_duration
public
construct/copy/destructdate_duration(duration_rep day_count);Construct from a day count.
date_duration(special_values sv);
construct from special_values - only works when instantiated with duration_traits_adapted
date_duration(const date_duration< duration_rep_traits > & other);Construct from another date_duration (Copy Constructor).
date_duration
public member functionsduration_rep get_rep() const;returns days_ as it's instantiated type - used for streaming
bool is_special() const;
duration_rep_type days() const;returns days as value, not object.
bool operator==(const date_duration & rhs) const;Equality.
bool operator<(const date_duration & rhs) const;Less.
date_duration & operator-=(const date_duration & rhs) ;Subtract another duration -- result is signed.
date_duration & operator+=(const date_duration & rhs) ;Add a duration -- result is signed.
date_duration operator-() const;unary- Allows for dd = -date_duration(2); -> dd == -2
date_duration & operator/=(int divisor) ;Division operations on a duration with an integer.
bool is_negative() const;return sign information
date_duration
public static functionsstatic date_duration unit() ;Returns the smallest duration -- used by to calculate 'end'.
